Note.
Endpoint in the waitlist period = baseline in the MBCT-C period.
MBCT-C (week 12 - week 0) - Waitlist (week 12- week 0); negative values indicate greater reductions in MBCT-C period as compared to the Waitlist period. PARS: Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale; STAI: State-Trait Anxiety Inventory; ERC: Emotion Regulation Checklist; CAMM: Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure; CGI-S: Clinical Global Impression-Severity.
